We hear and see a lot more wildlife than we get photos of, and some of the wildlife, like the young currawong who’s decided our new water tanks are his territory and is defending it with constant earsplitting calls, we don’t photograph because the temptation to throw the camera at him would be too strong 🙂

In the home stretch now! The last ten days or so have been exhausting, but productive. New driveway. New kitchen. New bathroom. New water tanks. New deck screens. New window screens.

Newly emptied bank account 🙂

Doug has worked his butt off, but we also have to thank Hansen Kitchens, Paul Reeves Carpentry and his team (hi Mark and Jason!), John Paynter and team (the concreting), Bradley and team at Nanango Tank Makers, Brian Stoker and his team at Sunset Canvas (Toowoomba), and Kingaroy Joinery (Alu-gard window screens). Still a little to finish off in the bathroom, and a lot of painting to do inside and out, but we’re getting there.

Have some photos!

Finishing touches

And, it’s finished!

Kitchen gone

And now it’s back, better than ever!
